Apolonio Morales 29 obtains LEED v4.1 O+M Existing Building certification Platinum
ENERES
headquarters, located at Calle Apolonio Morales 29, in Madrid has obtained the
“LEED v4.1 O + M Existing Building Platinum” certification with the highest
score in Spain in this type of certification and the first certification in
Europe in this category .
This is a
building rehabilitated between 2007 and 2009 under a Comprehensive
Rehabilitation for Efficiency project carried out by the European Innovation
Institute IEI; and promoted and built by its owner, the company Fernández
Molina Obras y Servicios S.A. which has its headquarters, since that date, in
the building.
The
rehabilitation of this building was the trigger for its architects and builder
to create the ENERES Sistemas Energéticos Sostenibles service brand in 2009,
which since then has carried out relevant work in Spain in consulting and
construction of emblematic buildings and infrastructure systems for efficiency,
the dissemination of knowledge about rehabilitation for efficiency,
bioclimatism, geothermal energy, geostructures and thermoactive structures, the
use of energy resources recovered from underground urban infrastructures and
other fields of innovation in academic forums, conferences and publications
National and international.
13 years
after its architectural conception for efficiency, inspired then by approaches
to excellence already under way in neighboring European countries but not in
Spain, the Apolonio Morales 29 building has come together with a new
certification framework, the Leed for Operation and Maintenance in Existing
Buildings, which today recognizes factors and benefits that were not considered
in any scope of certification at that time. LEED v4.1 O + M Existing Building
represents an evolution in this type of seals by requiring continuous
monitoring of the total behavior of the building and its occupants in terms of
emissions and its environmental impact, continuous performance and tests in
aspects that include transport, energy , waste, or water.
The
certification of the building was promoted in 2020 by its owner, Fernández
Molina Obras y Servicios SA, and has been granted in 2021 through the
consultancy of Savills Aguirre Newman and with the assistance and supervision
of the Technical Manager of ENERES, the Architect Rossana Laera.
With this
accreditation, the Apolonio Morales 29 building beats the records of:
- First LEED v4.1 O + M Existing Building Platinum certificate
achieved in EUROPE.
- Highest score achieved within the LEED O + M category, in
all versions, in SPAIN.
- Highest score achieved within all LEED categories (New
Construction, Operation and Maintenance, Housing, etc.), in versions 4 and 4.1,
in SPAIN.
